Do you use this kind of wenb hosting or you prefer skip from shared webhost to the dedicated server?

I personally think That Virtual privates are a kind of a link between shared Hosting and Dedicated Hosting,Its like getting the best of Both worlds.
However I feel,that shared hosting is much more popular in comparison to the other two forms of hosting.

Many people use VPS servers. I believe that this the most affordable solution for the ones who are tight on the shared web hosting accounts.

I do not agree with you. I think that VPS is closer to the dedicated server then to the shared

Anyway I still prefer virture hosting and vps than dedicated server,
because I can focus on my site and don't need to worry any security problems. lol

But in the case with dedicated you can take care about that at once....
Sorry... I just can't get what you are talking about.

Client's normally upgrade from A VPS to a dedicated server.
A VPS comes with full root access and quite a lot of resources (depending on the host).

I just upgraded to VPS as it is sort of a middle step between shared and dedicated.

**~kev~** · 02-04-2009, 03:09 PM

The price difference between shared and dedicated is too much. When I opened my site I went with a shared package. When I outgrew that package, the host only offered a dedicated package for over $100 a month. Well, the shared was only $15. the site was not making enough money to support over $100 a month server bill. so I had to go with a VPS package and another host.

Now I have a VPS with over 800 megs of memory and am about to have to upgrade again.

Going through the VPS levels has allowed my site to grow, without putting a financial strain on my family. Instead of jumping straight from $15 a month to over $100 a month, I went from $15, to $30, $45 and now at $65 a month.

Now that the sites are self supportive, I feel that I am finally ready for an entry level dedicated server.

I am looking forward to to the vps hosted on a grid computing platform , that will really blur the line , because then a VPS could actually be more powerful than any dedicated currently offered , and possibly at a lower price point with incredible levels of redundancy

~ServerPoint~ · 02-06-2009, 02:15 AM

But that is very popular and demand is huge

Think a VPS is a good bridge between shared hosting and a dedi.
As for me I prefer to use all these services from one company, it means this company must have all these services. These can be serverpoint.com, hostgator.com, glowhost.com, godaddy.com, etc.
The list can be endless. I hope you've got what I meant.

That might be bridge and might not.

I use multiple VPSs, a couple running HAProxy, load balancing back end web servers, I also sync all data between them, and use a DNS failover service to give multiple failover layers.
Coupled with VPSs spread from coast to coast, I can rightly offer 100% uptime, and actually deliver

Wow, that's great 100% uptime

I have a question about VPS.

Can you install your own apps on them? Like say the host doesn't have .net framework 3.5, or SQL Server 2005, can you install it using your software license if required?
